Assuming UNIBUS...

Looking at the address switches, I see 11 selectable bits out of how
many we don't know.

If at one extreme, the bits start at bit 15 (MSB) [assuming bits 16 and
17 are also 1], then the address of the ports on the board would be
77744X - 77747X - that seems like a lot.  (They might start at bit 17,
but then the space used by the board gets absolutely crazy).

If, on the other extreme, we suppose that the top 4 bits are 17 (along
bit bits 17 and 16), then we get 777762 - 777763.  That might actually
be possible.

One might continue the exercise one bit at a time between the two to see
if the address lands anywhere "interesting".

777762
777744
777710	Not here (Conflict with CPU registers)
777620  Unlikely (memory management)
777440

A more sure way would be to find the address line to which the first
address switch corresponds.
